The scope for being not necessarily to be construed as limitation exemplary embodiment is described below in exemplary embodiment, and this field is general The content that logical technical staff can easily derive should be interpreted to fall into the range of exemplary embodiment.Hereinafter, The exemplary embodiment for explanation will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
Fig. 1 is the perspective view for the structure for showing directional backlight unit accoding to exemplary embodiment.
With reference to figure 1, directional backlight unit BLU according to one exemplary embodiment (herein also referred to as " directional backlight device ") can To include at least one light source LS and light guide plate LGP, the light guide plate LGP is guided and is emitted the light emitted by light source LS.It is leading On the exit surface of tabula rasa LGP, the diffraction element D1 for including multiple grating pattern GP is formed.Multiple grating pattern GP can be repeated Ground is arranged, such as is arranged with the pattern repeated.
Light guide plate LGP can include at least one incidence surface and exit surface ES, be incided by the light source LS light emitted On at least one incidence surface, the light advanced in light guide plate LGP emits from exit surface ES.Light guide plate LGP passes through complete Internal reflection guides the light from light source LS, will pass through exit surface ES transmittings.Surface towards exit surface ES is total reflection Surface TS, and cannot be all anti-from total reflection surface TS by the light of the back reflection of the diffraction element D1 on exit surface ES It penetrates and advances in light guide plate LGP.Light source LS can be arranged in the edge of light guide plate LGP, and can from the light source LS light emitted To be met for more times by the exit surface ES being totally reflected in the inside of light guide plate LGP and light guide plate LGP.
Although light guide plate LGP to be illustrated as to the shape with tablet in Fig. 1, exemplary embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the exit surface ES of light guide plate LGP can have the shape of curved surface.
The diffraction element D1 being formed on the exit surface ES of light guide plate LGP can include multiple grating pattern GP so that It can be emitted in a specified direction in the light that the inside of light guide plate LGP is advanced by total internal reflection.In grating pattern GP, from Exit surface ES is protruded or repeatedly arranged (that is, with repetition according to specific rule compared with the concave grating G of exit surface ES Pattern arrangement).Grating G can include the material with the material identical of light guide plate LGP.However, the material of grating G is not limited to this Example.At least two in multiple grating pattern GP can have different pattern forms.For example, the direction of grating, interval and In duty cycle at least any one can change.The direct of travel of the light emitted from grating pattern GP can be based on grating pattern GP Pattern form and change.Multiple grating pattern GP can emit light towards multiple and different corresponding viewing areas.
Multiple grating pattern GP can be disposed adjacently to one another.In this aspect, can not be deposited between grating pattern GP In any region that no pattern is formed.By the way that grating pattern GP is arranged as adjacent to each other, in the exit surface of light guide plate LGP ES is upper can be not present any region that no grating pattern GP is formed.Due to not deposited on the exit surface ES of light guide plate LGP The region of grating pattern GP is not being formed, the inhomogeneities of the exit surface ES of light guide plate LGP can minimize.Inhomogeneities Minimum can be for example, by being accomplished by the following way:So that it is formed in the light on the exit surface ES of light guide plate LGP The mean refractive index of gate pattern GP is almost uniform in the whole region of the exit surface ES of light guide plate LGP.Herein, " mean refractive index " is the material between the refractive index for the grating material (for example, light guide panel material) for being related to grating pattern and grating The concept of both refractive index of (for example, air).Decline with the uniformity of the mean refractive index on exit surface ES, be It says, the distribution of mean refractive index is relatively wide, and the diffusion of the light caused by grating pattern GP increases.In exemplary implementation In example, the mean refractive index of grating pattern GP is almost uniform in the whole region of exit surface ES, so that due to The diffusion of light caused by grating pattern GP minimizes.
Fig. 2 is the cross-sectional view for the cross section for being shown specifically grating pattern GP shown in FIG. 1, to describe mean refractive index.
With reference to figure 2, the characteristic of the shape of grating pattern GP can be by the pitch P of the recurrence interval of expression grating G and grating G Width P1 represent.The duty cycle of grating pattern GP can be by the width P1 of grating G compared with the section between the phase adjacency pair of grating G Ratio away from P represents.
The mean refractive index of grating pattern GP can the duty cycle based on grating pattern GP and change.For example, it is assumed that grating The duty cycle of pattern GP is ' a ', and grating G is that in air (refractive index~1), the mean refractive index of grating pattern GP can be as Following equation 1 represents as follows:
Neff=a*n1+ (1-a) * 1 (1),
Wherein n1 represents the refractive index of the material (that is, the material of grating G) of grating pattern GP.
N1 can be the refractive index of light guide plate LGP.Since a is that the value between 0 and 1 and n1 are more than 1, so neff is less than n1。
It is different from exemplary embodiment, it, should if there is the region for not forming grating G between grating pattern GP The refractive index in region is equal to n1, is more than neff defined above.Therefore, the mean refraction of the exit surface ES of light guide plate LGP Rate includes neff and n1, and with the distribution for including high index of refraction and low-refraction, and so as to add inhomogeneities.
Fig. 3 is the perspective view for the structure for showing the directional backlight unit BLU according to comparative example.
With reference to figure 3, light source 20 is included according to the directional backlight unit BLU of comparative example, guides and emits and sent out by light source 20 It the light guide plate 10 for the light penetrated and is formed on the top surface of light guide plate 10 and includes the diffraction element D of multiple grating patterns 12.
Different from exemplary embodiment, in comparative example, grating pattern 12 is formed as being separated from each other, to have Predetermined interval d.Therefore, the mean refractive index on the top surface of light guide plate 10 is forming the region of grating pattern 12 and no shape Into difference between the region of grating pattern 12.
Fig. 4 is the displaing micro picture for being shown specifically the grating pattern 12 being formed on light guide plate 10 shown in Fig. 3.
With reference to figure 4, on the surface of light guide plate 10, can have to form the region of grating pattern 12 and there is no grating patterns 12 region M.Since the surface of light guide plate 10 is filled completely by the material of light guide plate 10, there is no the region M of grating pattern 12 There can be mean refractive index more higher than the region of formation grating pattern 12.
As described above, formed grating pattern 12 region mean refractive index can the duty cycle based on grating pattern 12 and Variation.Reduced with the duty cycle of grating pattern 12, the material of light guide plate 10 compared with the region for forming grating pattern 12 ratio Rate reduces so that forming the mean refractive index in the region of grating pattern 12 can further reduce.Since there is no grating pattern The mean refractive index of 12 region M and there are the difference between the mean refractive index in the region of grating pattern 12, similar to incidence The phenomenon that scattering of light on to non-uniform surface, can be happened on the exit surface of light guide plate 10.Light is there are raster patterns Partly emitted in the region of case 12, and light is totally reflected in the region M there is no grating pattern 12 in light guide plate, is made The width for obtaining the region M if there is no grating pattern 12 is less than the wavelength of light or with the number identical with the wavelength of light (digit), then total reflection light can with the diffraction similar mode for the light propagated by slit spread.
Due to this diffusion of light, the cross-sectional area of light can increase.When the interval d between grating pattern 12 is approximately equal to During several micron (μm), this smooth diffusion phenomena can significantly occur.
Fig. 5 is the concept map for the diffusion for showing the light emitted from grating pattern 12 shown in Fig. 3.
With reference to figure 5, incided into from the light of the transmitting of grating pattern 12 after being propagated by multiple interlayers 32,34 and 36 aobvious Show the colour filter CF of panel.Multiple interlayers 32,34 and 36 can include the various layers of display panel, for example, glass, optics Film, etc..From grating pattern 12 emit light incide into colour filter CF colour filter CF1, CF2 and CF3 in any one.It is multiple At least two in colour filter CF1, CF2 and CF3 can promote the light of different wave length to pass through its propagation.
The direct of travel of each change light in multiple grating patterns 12, so that light incides into multiple colour filters Any one in CF1, CF2 and CF3.The cross-sectional area of the light emitted from the grating pattern 12 of light guide plate 10 can be due to the expansion of light It dissipates and increases.Increase with the cross-sectional area of the light emitted from grating pattern 12, the light emitted from grating pattern 12 incides into separately One colour filter and the colour filter corresponding to grating pattern 12, so as to add crosstalk.Crosstalk can reduce display panel The reason for picture quality.
Fig. 6 is the concept map for showing the generation of crosstalk caused by the diffusion of light.
In figure 6, CF1a, CF1b and CF1c are the colour filters that feux rouges is promoted to be propagated by it, and CF2a, CF2b and CF2c are The colour filter that green light is promoted to be propagated by it, CF3a, CF3b and CF3c are the colour filters that blue light is promoted to be propagated by it.By more The light of each in a colour filter can incide into any one pixel of the display panel of image display.
The each grating pattern being arranged on the surface of light guide plate 10 is to the colour filter transmitting pair being arranged in specific position Answer the light of wavelength.For example, the first grating pattern 12-1 can emit green light to colour filter CF2a, the second grating pattern 12-2 can be with Emit green light to colour filter CF2b, and the 3rd grating pattern 12-3 can emit green light to colour filter CF2c.
The key light L11 emitted from the first grating pattern 12-1 advances to colour filter CF2a.However, due to the diffusion of light, from The part L12 of the light of first grating pattern 12-1 transmittings can advance to colour filter CF2b.Similarly, from the 3rd grating pattern The key light L31 of 12-3 transmittings advances to colour filter CF2c, but advances from the part L32 of the 3rd grating pattern 12-3 light emitted To colour filter CF2b.In this respect, not only from the light L21 of the second grating pattern 12-2 transmittings corresponding to colour filter CF2b, and And colour filter CF2b can be incided into from other grating patterns 12-1 and 12-3 light L12 and L32 emitted respectively.Never correspond to The light action of the filter is incided into as noise in the grating pattern of filter, so as to cause crosstalk.With due to image display The high-resolution of equipment and the interval between pixel is caused to reduce, crosstalk can deteriorate.
In directional backlight unit BLU1 accoding to exemplary embodiment, grating pattern GP is configured to reduce by grating pattern The diffusion of light caused by GP, and minimize the crosstalk as caused by the diffusion of light.
Although light source LS is shown as emitting light into the side of the light guide plate LGP in Fig. 1, exemplary embodiment is unlimited In this.
Fig. 7 is the plan view for the structure for showing directional backlight unit BLU1 ' according to another exemplary embodiment.
Directional backlight unit shown in FIG. 1 is different from according to the directional backlight unit BLU1 ' of present example embodiment BLU1。
With reference to figure 7, directional backlight unit BLU1 ' can include the first light source LS1 of the light in transmitting first wave length band, hair Penetrate the 3rd light source LS3 of the light in the 3rd wavelength band of secondary light source LS2 and transmitting of the light in second wave length band.For example, the One light source LS1 can emit blue light, and secondary light source LS2 can emit green light, and the 3rd light source LS3 can emit feux rouges.First Light source LS1 is arranged on the first side direction compared with light guide plate LGP, and secondary light source LS2 is arranged on the second side compared with light guide plate LGP Direction, and the 3rd light source LS3 compared with light guide plate LGP be arranged on three side to.Light guide plate LGP can be included from the first light Incident thereon second incident of the light of source LS1 the first incidence surface 11a incident thereon, the light from secondary light source LS2 Surface 11b and light from the 3rd light source LS3 the 3rd incidence surface 11c incident thereon.However, the arrangement of light source is not It is limited to the view, and light source can be arranged in various ways.For example, first light source LS1, secondary light source LS2 and the 3rd light source LS3 The one side of light guide plate LGP can be alternately arranged in.From every in first light source LS1, secondary light source LS2 and the 3rd light source LS3 The colourama of one transmitting can change compared with the incident direction of light guide plate.
Fig. 8 is according to plan view, is used to be included in the diffraction element D1 of directional backlight unit BLU1 shown in FIG. 1 Grating pattern GP and the grating pattern that is included in the diffraction element D according to the back light unit BLU shown in Fig. 3 of comparative example 12 are compared.
With reference to figure 8, it is arranged between the grating pattern 12 in the diffraction element D according to the back light unit BLU of comparative example Interval can be similar to grating pattern 12 length and width.Particularly, the interval between grating pattern 12 can be equal to big About several microns (μm).In this case, formed the region of grating pattern 12 and do not form the region M of grating pattern 12 can With with different mean refractive indexs.The region M for not forming grating pattern 12 act as slit, so as to cause from grating pattern The diffusion of the light of 12 transmittings increases.
In contrast, the grating being arranged in the diffraction element D1 of directional backlight unit BLU1 accoding to exemplary embodiment Pattern GP is arranged as adjacent to each other so that the length of length and width of the interval less than gate pattern GP between grating pattern GP arrives Negligible degree.The area of grating pattern GP is not formed caused by with reducing due to the interval between grating pattern GP Domain almost disappears, it is possible to reduce the diffusion of the light from grating pattern GP.
When grating pattern GP is arranged to adjacent to each other, due to mistake, the pitch interval of grating pattern GP in processing Deng interval between them can be not equal to zero.For example, the interval between grating pattern GP can be less than what is emitted by light source LS The 1/10 of the wavelength of light.If 1/10 of interval less than the wavelength of light between grating pattern GP, by between grating pattern GP Space in the amount of light of divergence loss of light can significantly decrease.In addition, the amount of the light with the divergence loss by light It reduces, crosstalk can also be reduced.
In order to ensure the interval between grating pattern GP is less than the 1/10 of the wavelength of light, it is arranged on accoding to exemplary embodiment Directional backlight unit BLU1 diffraction element D1 in each grating pattern GP area can be more than according to comparative example The area of grating pattern 12.

However, increasing if placed at the quantity in diffraction element D1, then use is likely difficult to when generating image from light All light of gate pattern GP transmittings.This is because since the interval between grating pattern GP is subject to the quantity of grating pattern GP Increased limitation, grating pattern GP may become more to be difficult to design.In this respect, the scope of above-mentioned spaced apart condition is being met In, it can suitably set the quantity of grating pattern GP or the area of each grating pattern GP.
Hereinafter, by description according to the structure of the directional backlight unit of various exemplary embodiments.
Fig. 9 is plan view, is used to be included within the diffraction member according to the directional backlight unit of another exemplary embodiment Grating pattern in part D2 is compared with the grating pattern being included in the diffraction element D according to the back light unit of comparative example Compared with.
According to the diffraction element D2 of present example embodiment can include multiple grating pattern GP1, GP2, GP3 ..., with And Fictitious data base pattern DP.When compared with diffraction element D, Fictitious data base pattern DP can be located at grating pattern 12 it Between, i other words, in the region M for not forming grating pattern 12 in the region on the exit surface of light guide plate.
When directional backlight unit is applied to image display, passed by multiple grating pattern GP1, GP2, GP3 ... The light broadcast be used to generate image, and the light from Fictitious data base pattern DP can be not used in generation image.This will below into One step describes.In this sense, compared with Fictitious data base pattern DP, multiple grating pattern GP1, GP2, GP3 ... are properly termed as Grating pattern GP1, GP2, GP3 ... of panel orientation.
Fictitious data base pattern DP can have such shape:So that the mean refractive index of diffraction element D2 is in light guide plate It is almost uniform on exit surface.
Figure 10 is the cross-sectional view from the diffraction element D2 of the line B-B ' viewings of Fig. 9.
With reference to figure 10, since Fictitious data base pattern DP and the grating pattern GP2 and GP3 that panel is orientated have different shine Characteristic, the structure of grating pattern GP2 and GP3 that structure and the panel of Fictitious data base pattern DP are orientated can be different from each other.For example, At least one in the pitch of the grating of Fictitious data base pattern DP, width and direction can be different from and Fictitious data base pattern DP The corresponding parameter of the grating pattern GP2 and GP3 of adjacent panel orientation.
On the contrary, the mean refractive index of Fictitious data base pattern DP can be no better than the face adjacent with Fictitious data base pattern DP The mean refractive index of the grating pattern GP2 and GP3 of plate orientation.For example, the pattern form of Fictitious data base pattern DP can cause void The mean refractive index for intending grating pattern DP is no better than or is taken similar to the panel adjacent with Fictitious data base pattern DP is arranged as To grating pattern GP2 and GP3 mean refractive index.For example, the mean refractive index of Fictitious data base pattern DP can be equal to and this At least mean refractive index of any one in the grating pattern GP2 and GP3 of panel orientation adjacent Fictitious data base pattern DP.With this Kind of mode, grating pattern GP1, GP2, GP3 ... the mean refractive index of DP is almost uniform so that the surface of light guide plate LGP can To have almost uniform refractive index.Therefore, the diffusion of the light as caused by inhomogeneities and the crosstalk as caused by the diffusion of light can To reduce as described above.
Therefore, in diffraction element D2, Fictitious data base pattern DP is arranged to the exit surface ES of reduction light guide plate LGP not Uniformity, and therefore must be designed to minimize the influence of the light from Fictitious data base pattern DP when 3D is imaged.
Figure 11 is shown, when the directional backlight unit BLU2 including diffraction element D2 shown in Fig. 9 is applied to image display During equipment, the direct of travel of the light of each transmitting in the grating pattern GP1 to GP9 being orientated from multiple panels and from more The direct of travel of the light of each transmitting in a Fictitious data base pattern DP1, DP2 and DP3.
With reference to figure 11, grating pattern GP1, GP2, GP3, GP4, GP5, GP6, GP7, GP8 and GP9 of multiple panel orientations can To be configured so as to advance to be arranged on from the grating pattern GP1 to GP9 of the multiple panels orientation light Lp emitted respectively to lead Display panel DSP on the exit surface of tabula rasa LGP.At least two in the grating pattern GP1 to GP9 of multiple panel orientations match somebody with somebody It is set to the light for emitting different wavelength bands towards display panel DSP.Particularly, the grating pattern GP1 to GP9 of multiple panel orientations In at least two can have compared with different wavelength selectivity.The grating pattern GP1 of multiple panel orientations is into GP9 At least two can also be configured to emit light in a different direction.For example, according to the pitch of grating, direction, refractive index and Relative angle between duty cycle and the direct of travel and grating of light, the grating pattern GP1 to GP9 of multiple panel orientations can To emit light in a particular direction.
In order to emit light, Duo Gexu on the direction in the direction for the grating pattern GP1 to GP9 being orientated different from multiple panels Intend the relative angle between the direct of travel and grating of the raster pitch of grating pattern DP1, DP2 and DP3, grating orientation and light The corresponding parameter of at least one grating pattern GP1 to GP9 that can be different from multiple panel orientations in degree.
Multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1, DP2 and DP3 be configurable to prevent from multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1, DP2 and The viewing areas VR of the light Ld of each transmitting in DP3 towards display panel DSP advance.
Herein, viewing areas VR refers to such region, in the region, incides into the light of display panel DSP It is used for the image that generation is watched by beholder.In this respect, the light Ld being directed toward outside the viewing areas VR on display panel DSP Can be not used in generation image or can be used for generate beholder visual angle outside image.
By this method, can be not used in from the light of each transmitting in multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1, DP2 and DP3 Image is generated on display panel DSP.Multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1, DP2 and DP3 can cause light the visual angle of 3D rendering it Outer traveling will not be travelled upwardly in light by the side of display panel DSP.
Although it will be illustrated as in fig. 11 from the light of each transmitting in multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1, DP2 and DP3 It is directed toward outside visual angle, but the present disclosure is not limited to the diagrams.For example, the orientation of light can be set as towards including in display panel The black matrix of color-filter layer in DSP.
Figure 12 is the cross-sectional view for the structure for showing directional backlight unit BLU3 according to another exemplary embodiment.
Directional backlight unit BLU2's according to the directional backlight unit BLU3 of present example embodiment and shown in Figure 11 The difference is that directional backlight unit BLU3 further includes virtual photoresist layer ML.
Diffraction element D3 included in directional backlight unit BLU3 can include the grating pattern of multiple panels orientation GP1, GP2, GP3, GP4, GP5, GP6, GP7, GP8 and GP9 and multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ', DP2 ' and DP3 '.It is multiple The mean refractive index that Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ', DP2 ' and DP3 ' have be similar to the plurality of Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ', At least mean refractive index of any one in the grating pattern of each adjacent panel orientation in DP2 ' and DP3 ', this In meaning, multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ', DP2 ' and DP3 ' be substantially similar to multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1, DP2 and DP3。
In the directional backlight unit BLU3 according to present example embodiment, multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ', DP2 ' And DP3 ' is needed not point to outside visual angle, this is different from multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1, DP2 and DP3 in Figure 11.It is but fixed It can also include virtual photoresist layer ML to back light unit BLU3, the virtual photoresist layer ML is compared with directional backlight unit BLU3 directly stops the light from multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ', DP2 ' and DP3 '.

Figure 13 is the cross-sectional view for the structure for showing directional backlight unit BLU4 according to another exemplary embodiment.
In terms of the pattern form of the Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ", DP2 " and the DP3 " that are included in diffraction element D4, according to The difference of the directional backlight unit BLU2 of the directional backlight unit BLU4 and Figure 11 of present example embodiment.
Diffraction element D4 can include multiple panels orientation grating pattern GP1, GP2, GP3, GP4, GP5, GP6, GP7, GP8 and GP9 and multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ", DP2 " and DP3 ".Multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ", DP2 " and DP3 " tools Some mean refractive indexs are similar to and are taken with each adjacent panel in the plurality of Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ", DP2 " and DP3 " To grating pattern in at least mean refractive index of any one, and in the sense that, multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ", DP2 " and DP3 " is substantially similar to multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1, DP2 and DP3.
In the directional backlight unit BLU4 according to present example embodiment, multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ", DP2 " And each in DP3 " is with pattern form so that the pixel color and wavelength selectivity being oriented are different from each other.
In fig. 13 it is shown that when directional backlight unit BLU4 is applied to image display, taken from multiple panels To grating pattern GP1 to GP9 in each transmitting light direct of travel and from multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ", DP2 " And the color-filter layer CF of the direct of travel and setting of the light of each transmitting in DP3 " on a display panel.
With reference to figure 13, color-filter layer CF of the light from directional backlight unit BLU4 towards setting on a display panel refers to To.Color-filter layer CF can include multiple colour filter CF1, CF2 and CF3.Color-filter layer CF can be included through first wave length band In light the first colour filter CF1, by the second colour filter CF2 of the light in second wave length band and pass through the 3rd wavelength band In light the 3rd colour filter CF3.Black matrix CFB can be arranged on the first colour filter CF1, the second colour filter CF2 and the 3rd filter In color device CF3.
The grating pattern GP1 to GP9 of multiple panel orientations may be configured such that the grating pattern being orientated from multiple panels The light Lp of each transmitting in GP1 to GP9 passes through any one in multiple colour filter CF1, CF2 and CF3.Multiple panel orientations Grating pattern GP1 to GP9 in each can selectively emit in first wave length band, second wave length band and the 3rd wavelength band In any one in light.The wavelength selectivity of each in the grating pattern GP1 to GP9 of multiple panel orientations can match Each desired pixel color in the grating pattern GP1 to GP9 of multiple panel orientations.
On the contrary, multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ", DP2 " and DP3 " are configurable to prevent from multiple Fictitious data base patterns Colour filter CF1, CF2 and CF3 that the light Ld of each transmitting in DP1 ", DP2 " and DP3 " passes through color-filter layer CF.Particularly, For the wavelength selectivity of each in multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ", DP2 " and DP3 ", pattern form can be set To be different with the pixel color by each orientation in multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ", DP2 " and DP3 ".
The wavelength selectivity of Fictitious data base pattern DP2 " can not be with the colour filter CF1 that is orientated by Fictitious data base pattern DP2 " Wavelength band overlapping.For example, if the wavelength selectivity of Fictitious data base pattern DP2 " can be second wave length band or the 3rd wavelength Band, and Fictitious data base pattern DP2 " is orientated directed through the colour filter CF1 of first wave length band, then from Fictitious data base pattern The light of DP2 " is stopped by colour filter CF2, so as to be unfavorable for generating image.
With reference to as described in figure 11,12 and 13, due to the multiple Fictitious data base patterns being arranged in directional backlight unit BLU2 DP1, DP2 and DP3, multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ', DP2 ' and DP3 ', the Yi Jishe being arranged in directional backlight unit BLU3 Put the exit surface ES of multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ", the DP2 " and DP3 ", light guide plate LGP in directional backlight unit BLU4 On mean refractive index be it is almost uniform, it is each in the grating pattern GP1 to GP9 being orientated from multiple panels so as to reduce The diffusion of the light Lp of a transmitting.With the reduction of the diffusion of light, crosstalk can also be reduced.
In addition, with reference to as described in figure 11,12 and 13, pattern form is formed with will be from multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1, DP2 Be directed to the light Ld of each transmitting in DP3 outside visual angle or from multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ', DP2 ' and The light of each in DP3 ' be blocked or multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ", DP2 " and DP3 " in the wavelength of each Selectivity is different from the colour filter that is oriented, so as to by color-filter layer CF stop from multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ", The light of each in DP2 " and DP3 ".Therefore, when generating 3D rendering, the influence of Fictitious data base pattern can be relatively small.
Additionally or alternatively, multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1, DP2 and DP3, the Duo Gexu shown in Figure 11,12 and 13 Intending grating pattern DP1 ', DP2 ' and DP3 ' and multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ", DP2 " and DP3 " can take with ratio panels To grating pattern GP1 to GP9 the lower light emitted outside light guide plate LGP of ratio ratio.Particularly, it is multiple virtual Grating pattern DP1, DP2 and DP3, multiple Fictitious data base pattern DP1 ', DP2 ' and DP3 ' and multiple Fictitious data base patterns The luminous efficiency of DP1 ", DP2 " and DP3 " can be less than the corresponding luminous effect of the grating pattern GP1 to GP9 of multiple panels orientation Rate.
Figure 14 is the knot for showing the diffraction element D5 being included in directional backlight unit according to another exemplary embodiment The plan view of structure.
With reference to figure 14, the interval being arranged between multiple grating pattern GP in diffraction element D5 can meet the following conditions In it is at least one:Less than about 1/10 the first scope of the wavelength of the light emitted from light source LS and the wavelength more than light About 180/ π times of the second scope.
For example, grating pattern group GPG is formed by multiple grating pattern GP so that the light being included in grating pattern group GPG Interval between gate pattern GP can meet the item of about 1/10 the first scope of the wavelength less than the light emitted from light source LS Part.
Interval d between grating pattern group GPG can meet about 180/ π more than the wavelength by the light source LS light emitted The condition of the second scope again.Inversely change compared with the width of slit in general, light passes through the angle spread during slit.Cause This, as the interval d between grating pattern group GPG increases, light can be reduced by the angle spread during grating pattern GP.Example Such as, as described above, if between grating pattern group GPG interval d be more than from light source LS emit light wavelength about 180/ π times, then since the angle further spread by the light of grating pattern GP of the refraction of light is reduced to about 1 degree or more It is small so that the crosstalk of the 3D rendering formed by the light of grating transmitting can be reduced.
For example, when light source LS emits the light in multiple wavelength bands, the second scope can be more than to emit from light source LS About 180/ π times of minimum wavelength in the wavelength of light.In another example, when light source LS emits the light in multiple wavelength bands When, the second scope can be more than from 180/ π times of the intermediate wavelength in the wavelength of the light source LS light emitted.
If light source LS transmittings are with the visible ray for falling into the wavelength between 380nm and 780nm, it is seen that light The intermediate wavelength of about 550nm can be set as representing wavelength so that the second scope can be more than about 180/ π times of 550nm. For example, the first scope is considered the wavelength of visible ray, and can be set as being less than 50nm.Second scope can be set To be more than 30 μm.In this respect, the interval between grating pattern GP can meet at least one in the following conditions:Less than 50nm The 3rd scope and the 4th scope more than 30 μm.
